  • Looking West: a Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia
    A Guide to Aboriginal Records in Western Australia The Records Taskforce of Western Australia ¨ ARTIST Jeanette Garlett Jeanette is a Nyungar Aboriginal woman. She was removed from her family at a young age and was in Mogumber Mission from 1956 to 1968, where she attended the Mogumber Mission School and Moora Junior High School. Jeanette later moved to Queensland and gained an Associate Diploma of Arts from the Townsville College of TAFE, majoring in screen printing batik. From 1991 to present day, Jeanette has had 10 major exhibitions and has been awarded four commissions Australia-wide. Jeanette was the recipient of the Dick Pascoe Memorial Shield. Bill Hayden was presented with one of her paintings on a Vice Regal tour of Queensland. In 1993 several of her paintings were sent to Iwaki in Japan (sister city of Townsville in Japan). A recent major commission was to create a mural for the City of Armadale (working with Elders and students from the community) to depict the life of Aboriginal Elders from 1950 to 1980. Jeanette is currently commissioned by the Mundaring Arts Centre to work with students from local schools to design and paint bus shelters — the established theme is the four seasons. Through her art, Jeanette assists Aboriginal women involved in domestic and traumatic situations, to express their feelings in order to commence their journey of healing. Jeanette currently lives in Northam with her family and is actively working as an artist and art therapist in that region. Jeanette also lectures at the O’Connor College of TAFE. Her dream is to have her work acknowledged and respected by her peers and the community.

  • Priority Ecological Communities for Western
    PRIORITY ECOLOGICAL COMMUNITIES FOR WESTERN AUSTRALIA VERSION 21 Species and Communities Branch, Department of Parks and Wildlife 4 May 2014 Possible threatened ecological communities that do not meet survey criteria or that are not adequately defined are added to the priority ecological community list under priorities 1, 2 and 3. These three categories are ranked in order of priority for survey and/or definition of the community, and evaluation of conservation status, so that consideration can be given to their declaration as threatened ecological communities. Ecological communities that are adequately known, and are rare but not threatened or meet criteria for near threatened, or that have been recently removed from the threatened list, are placed in priority 4. These ecological communities require regular monitoring. Conservation dependent ecological communities are placed in priority 5 Note: i) Nothing in this table may be construed as a nomination for listing under the Commonwealth EPBC Act 1999 ii) The inclusion in this table of a community type does not necessarily imply any status as a threatened ecological community, however some communities are listed as threatened ecological communties (TECs) under the EPBC Act (see column D). iii) Regions eg Pilbara are based on Department of Parks and Wildlife regional boundaries. iv) For definitions of categories (priority 1 etc.) refer to document entitled ‘Definitions and Categories’. Community name Category Category (WA) EPBC Act PILBARA 1 West Angelas Cracking-Clays Priority 1 Open tussock grasslands of Astrebla pectinata, A. elymoides, Aristida latifolia , in combination with Astrebla squarrosa and low scattered shrubs of Sida fibulifera , on basalt derived cracking-clay loam depressions and flowlines.

  • A Report on the Viability of Pastoral Leases in the Northern Rangelands Region Based on Biophysical Assessment
    A Report on the Viability of Pastoral Leases in the Northern Rangelands Region Based on Biophysical Assessment Dr PE Novelly - South Perth Mr D Warburton - Northam 7 September 2012 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kimberley and Pilbara comprise Western Australia’s Northern Rangelands. The pastoral industry of both regions is becoming increasingly similar, with most formerly sheep producing properties in the Pilbara moving to cattle, more control and manipulation of herds, and enterprises with a higher proportion of breeders. The projected viability (based on a capacity to carry a minimum number of stock in an ecologically sustainable manner) of pastoral leases in this region was analysed through assessment of biophysical parameters, in particular the inherent landscape productivity and its capacity to be managed in an ecologically sustainable manner, and the impact of current rangeland condition on grazing capacity. Analysis was conducted on individual pastoral leases The effect of leases being run in combination with other leases in one business, or access to substantial non-pastoral income was ignored. Of the 154 pastoral leases assessed, applying a threshold viability level of a potential carrying capacity of 4,000 cattle units, but ignoring reduced carrying capacity caused by degraded rangeland condition: • 16 leases in the Kimberley and 37 leases in the Pilbara do not reach the viability threshold when all land systems within the lease area are considered; • 18 Kimberley leases and 40 Pilbara leases do not meet the viability threshold when land systems whose pastoral potential is so low that investment in management and infrastructure is considered non-viable are excluded. The background and arguments behind this assessment are discussed.
